The term Famous Last Words has two definitions. 1) A notable final (sometimes ironic/ sometimes humorous) utterance before death, especially one made by a celebrity or historical figure. 2) A statement (figuratively, expressing sarcasm) of overly optimistic assertions that are almost immediately countered, which are overly optimistic, resulting from overconfidence, or lacking realistic foresight. Famous peoples final words should be, well, famous. But since most people dont know which words will be their last, those final utterances can be revealing, deeply poignant or just plain odd. Here are a few Famous Last Words, both me and my Alter-ego Monsieur Petit Stevie Lamour Navet find interesting enough to share. *Et tu, Brute? - Gaius Julius Caesar, Roman Emperor, d. 44 BC; as he was being assassinated. *Im bored with it all. - Sir Winston Churchill, statesman, d.
